Besides the point that the seller is trying to buy off a quality escape as a 'typical process'. I would hate to have those wheels right now. Serious questions to the safety of them, given how little metal there is in the fasteners.



^ Obviously this one is the worst case. Barely any metal there. This is going on a wheel with high rotational forces; without doing any stress analysis I'd be really concerned that that little piece of metal is all that is stopping it from ripping out of the fastener.
